Slip of a Girl

I cannot believe it!
 What is it, Madame?
 He means to marry her!
 A governess!
 A slip of a girl
 No breeding, no brass
 No kinship, no class
 A slip of a girl who misplaces her grace
 And disgraces her place
 A slip of a girl
 Who should settle for less
 And confess a success
 I'm outraged and appalled
 Distressed and offended
 Scandalized, mortified
 Shocked and upended
 Is it true, mam'selle?
 Yes, it is!
 You're a slip of a girl
 It is unlikely, I fear
 He's in love with you, dear
 Mrs. Fairfax!
 A slip of a girl!
 Would you marry him when
 You've no knowledge of men?
 A slip of girl
 I would beg you to purge
 Your unvirginal urge
 I'm fretted and anxious
 Concerned and disturbed
 Upset, apprehensive
 Harassed and perturbed!
 Oh, Jane, you must be careful
 I remember in my youth
 I thought the same as you
 But men, my dear, will break your heart
 While swearing to be true
 From Mr. Rochester, Miss
 Thank you, Robert
 But these are the Rochester jewels!
 Oh, yes
 To be worn by a governess?
 I'm astonished, alarmed
 Perplexed and dumbfounded
 Bewildered, embarrassed
 Amazed and astounded
 I don't know why he sent them
 I told him I would not wear them
 Not wear them?
 And who are you to say you will not wear jewels given
 To you by Mr. Edward Fairfax Rochester?
 A slip of a girl
 Whose form, I'll be sworn
 He should scorn to adorn
 No, indeed, Mrs. Fairfax
 A slip of a girl
 Who'd be blessed, at the best
 To be fetchingly dressed!
 I shall not wear them!
 A slip of a girl
 Who'll do as she's told
 Or be wholly cajoled
 Laughable, impudent
 Brazen, audacious
 Saucy, impertinent
 Bold and ungracious
 Ooh, voila!
 From the tailors at Milcote, Miss
 Oh, yes, thank you
 So this is the wedding dress?
 Do you like it?
 Like it? Well, I
 I remember, long ago
 When I wore such a dress
 He died, poor man, and broke my heart
 Still broken, I confess
 I'm very sorry to hear that, Mrs. Fairfax
 A slip of a girl
 Insipidly built
 Ill-equipped, to the hilt
 You're a slip of a girl
 And I'll bet he'll not let
 You be more than a pet
 He's twenty years older
 Aesthetics won't let it
 Be more than a friendship
 You'd better forget it
 No, indeed, Mrs. Fairfax. Edward is young
 Edward?
 He's young in his heart
 Oh, dear
 He loves me, I'm sure
 Oh, dear, I don't know
 I solemnly swear
 Love is a great thing
 Our love will endure
 Well, then
 I'm thrilled, I'm enchanted
 Enraptured, excited
 Gratified, tickled
 I trust I'm invited?
 I'm charmed, I'm disarmed!
 Jane Eyre, I'm delighted!
 Come, my dear
